Abstract excerpt
Up to now, ovarian carcinomas represent a major health problem among female cancers because they are the leading cause of death from gynecological malignancy. A high proportion of these tumors selects for mutations in the p53 gene. There is evidence that inactivation of the p53 protein could indicate poor prognosis and chemoresistance of patients. To set up a fast and sensitive test for p53 defects in tumor...
